1870749 - Component Description section in new-bug form is busted for some Bugzilla components

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: User Interface, defect)

Description

The new-bug flow ( enter_bug.cgi ) changed recently, and it's got one bit of broken UI that I keep running up against. The "component description" area is extremely squashed, at least for bugs in Core. I think this is because it has to share space with the "Component" selector, and for Core, some of the Component names are pretty wide.

See screenshot.

Can we fix the UI so that the component description can be more readable somehow and not look quite as awkwardly-squished?

This issue is visible at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Core - just focus any of the components and use uparrow/downarrow to cycle down through that list, and notice the description change, and inevitably overflow or even linewrap midword.

I'll attach one more screenshot of how this looks for me with Audio/Video: MediaStreamGraph whose description looks particularly busted.

Kohei, any idea on what could cause the description field to squash this way?

It seems the component names, especially in the Core product, are getting longer, so there is a little room for the description. The good news is I’m working on replacing the <select> with a custom element as suggested earlier. I’ll send a PR in a few days! (or today, if possible)

Bug 1870891 is now live, and this is fixed.
